Custom hand-cut inlay for guitars, basses, and more

Whalehazard Guitars specializes in musical instrument inlay in a wide variety of materials. Intricately designed and expertly hand crafted, it’s just the thing to make your custom guitar or bass stand out in a crowd. All designs are discussed extensively with the customer, making sure the aesthetics of the inlay work complement the player and the lines of the instrument. Color and materials will all be considered to make sure your instrument is a reflection of your playing and attitude.

Inlay work is available for existing instruments as well! Please get in touch to discuss your options! (Please note most inlay work on existing fretboards will require at least a partial refret, a service Whalehazard Guitars is happy to provide.)
